[issue23993] Use surrogateescape error handler by default in open() if the LC_CTYPE locale is C at startup

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I found this discussion again while looking for issue #19977 to reference from issue #24968.

"fixed" wasn't the right resolution, so I've moved it to "postponed" - the SSH locale forwarding problem highlighted again in #24968 means I think there's a discussion worth having about reading /etc/locale/conf when it's available, rather than always trusting the glibc locale settings.

----------
resolution: fixed -> postponed
